has anyone tried one?? i had one in my trans am and really liked it. wasnt sure how it would hold up in a v. also a buddy of mine has an extra flywheel from a ls1 camaro. i realize its prob not as light as the ones you can buy but will this work in my car?

I had one in my rock crawler Wrangler TJ, stood up to a ton of tq just fine, never slipped once and it was a perfect factory bolt on.

will that ls1 flywheel work? also im putting headers and a tune on. think it will hold up?

Here you go man. Straight from their site. They have a lightweight flywheel that looks to be a direct replacement for the dual mass.

If you are just going to replace the flywheel do the UUC. It matches up well with the stock setup.

They are no longer in production, but if you can find one the UUC is a good option. The centerforce flywheel looks like a factory replacement too but it is almost 1k!

i plan on replacing both but if i can use the ls1 flywheel i will. it seems crazy to spend that much on just a flywheel. i understand the light weight flywheels but a stock ls1 flywheel has to way less then the junk one thats in the V

If you want to go with a Centerforce, just use the LS1 flywheel with their Camaro/Corvette LS1/LS6 clutch cover/disc and either a TPIS or Katech slave spacer with the stock CTS-V slave. Use a good high-temp DOT3-compatible fluid in the clutch system.

The LS1 GTO flywheel (12554130 casting) is about 23.2 lbs. Expect to save 28-30 lbs of rotating weight with this combo.

is the gto flywheel different then a 2000 camaro? also wheres the cheapest place to get the spacer

It's the same for all the LS1/6 cars (except of course, the V).

Call Jason at Katech or the TPIS folks and ask the price. Depending on where you are, the shipping might be the deciding factor.

Occasionally, you can even find one in the classifieds on this site.

Ive ran the centerforce dual friction in mine, and have had 3 friends use it.

Depending on your HP, they are great. If your going to stay under the 450-500 crank hp limit then you'll like it. You start testing it and the weights are known to break (all 3 of my friends broke theirs and got them replaced by Centerforce). I had mine on my 600rwhp turbo camaro and it actually held up for a while. It never broke... just burnt up.

But with the weak V rears, im sure the clutch will be fine.

thanks alot

i just got off the phone with centerforce. i asked what would be the best clutch with my mods but since im not using theyre V specific flywheel they wont recommend any clutch for me.

is the LS1 flywheel with the katech spacer a reliable setup or am i just causing myself more problam by trying to avoid the expensive flywheel? all listings for the spacer say 05-08. i assume this will work on the 04 also?

the only reason im trying this is because i have a free flywheel to use

Absolutely. Mine has had a similar configuration (C5 LS6 clutch/flywheel) since Jul 07 (behind an LS7 with over 500 rwhp) with no issues whatsoever.

Whatever clutch setup you decide on, make sure that (A) you use a DOT3-compatible high-temp fluid in the system and (B) the system is properly bled.

ok thanks alot. sorry so many questions just wanna make sure everything will work together.
